The Soy Dilemma
Soy is a legume that is often considered a good alternative to meat. It is a food very rich in protein and a great source of vitamin C, calcium, iron and folic acid. It is also relatively low in carbohydrates but high in fibre. But how good is it for you anyway?
The Health Benefits of Chocolate
Dark chocolate can be an important player in your health journey since it is high in healthy fats, low in sugar, and loaded with a potent mix of antioxidants and minerals. To top it up it contains many mind-altering psychoactive compounds, caffeine just being one of them.
The Five Supplements Anyone Should Consider Taking - Part 5 - Zinc
Zinc is a ubiquitous mineral, crucial for keeping us alive, yet it often goes unnoticed. With a good variety of fresh, local foods, we can easily obtain sufficient levels. However, supplementation might surprise you with the positive effects on your energy levels and immune system support.
The Five Supplements Anyone Should Consider Taking - Part 2 - Vitamin D
Safely spending enough time outside in the sun is our best bet to maintain adequate vitamin D levels, yet, depending on your location and age, it might be really hard in winter. This is why regular monitoring of this important hormone and supplementing when necessary is crucial for our health and longevity.
The Five Supplements Anyone Should Consider Taking - Part 1 - Omega 3
Regularly ingesting adequate amounts of good quality omega-3 fatty acids is one of the most powerful tools you can use to reduce inflammation and improve the way you think, feel and the way you age.
Can You Have Too Much Protein?
In a nutshell, consuming excessive amounts of protein promotes growth. That is great and we need periods of growth. But with the growth of good cells, the “bad” ones grow too and ageing is accelerated.
A good balance of anabolism (the synthesis of molecules) and catabolism (the breakdown of complex molecules) is required for a long and healthy life.
